Yan Shao looked at her childlike frankness with amusement, feeling a touch of pride and warmth in his heart.
To be honest, after taking over Yanhuang for so many years, his passion for his work and the thrill of conquering challenges have been decreasing year by year.
During the years he searched for Zhu Qianying, he even considered handing over the management of Yanhuang to a professional manager.
But at this moment, seeing the proud light in her eyes, he felt that all his perseverance and hard work over the years had been worthwhile.
"Ying'er, would you like to come to Yanhuang and help me?"
In fact, Yan Shao had also noticed Cheng Ye's behavior of intentionally or unintentionally "kidnapping" Zhu Qianying under the guise of work during this period.
He also secretly observed the internal struggles in Zhu Qianying's heart.
"don't want!"
But Zhu Qianying gave him a very firm negative answer.
Before Yan Shao could ask why, Zhu Qianying had already given him the most definite reason.
"Because I also want you and Zai Zai to be able to proudly say, 'Hmm, this is my wife's/Mommy's design, when you see a piece of jewelry in the future.'"
Wanting the people you care about to be proud of you is actually the same feeling that Yan Shao is having right now.
"Yes! That day will come! And it's not far off!"
Yan Shao reached out and hugged her, suppressing all the selfish thoughts in his heart.
Although countless voices inside him kept clamoring to "bind her and lock her up...", he knew very well that if he did that, she would lose most of her happiness.
Moreover, he can trust someone like Zhu Qianying and let go of her.
He believed that Zhu Qianying could handle Cheng Ye on her own.
...
Zhu Qianying has been spending almost all her time at the restaurant these past few days, though she's actually busy with her own things.
The two helpers that Uncle Hai called over are now staying to work, and the restaurant is basically able to keep up with the workload.
Moreover, both Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying, in order to maintain quality, do not accept any additional diners each day besides those who have made online reservations.
Therefore, the restaurant's business was basically on track and became stable. As Chen Jing's two apprentices' culinary skills became more and more refined, Chen Jing was not as busy as before.
As for Yan Shao, he was still busy every day, but at night, even if he didn't go back to the restaurant for dinner, he would go back to the apartment to stay. He never tried to stay overnight at Yanhuang again.
Zhu Qianying naturally assumed the role of a virtuous wife. Whenever he didn't come back to the shop for dinner, she would prepare soup and ingredients for a late-night snack, and cook it for him when he returned.
That day, Yan Shao returned to his apartment, took a shower, ate a late-night snack, and casually leaned back on the sofa with a satisfied look on his face.
Even with such an unladylike posture, Young Master Yan still exuded irresistible charm.
When Zhu Qianying came out after washing the dishes, she saw a man with long arms and legs. He had his hands on the back of the sofa, his long legs casually stretched out in front of the sofa, and his large body was lazily leaning against the sofa. He had his eyes closed and his head was leaning back against the sofa. He looked like a lion that had just eaten and was a little sleepy.
Zhu Qianying smiled slightly, walked over lightly, bent down, placed one hand on the sofa next to his face, leaned in and kissed him on the lips.
The man's eyes were still closed, but his breathing was noticeably heavier, and at the same time, his warm, large hands were placed on her lower back.
Zhu Qianying playfully nibbled at his nose again, "How old are you? Still pretending to be asleep!"
The man opened his eyes, his dark pupils clearly showing a layer of hazy sleepiness.
"Girl, you woke me up by sneaking up on me, and you still have the nerve to complain? Huh?"
He raised his head slightly, mimicking her earlier gesture, and gently bit the tip of her nose. Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked her lips.
"How did I launch a sneak attack? I kissed my own husband, is that a sneak attack? I did it all openly and honestly, okay?"
The frank Zhu Qianying always had a way of making Yan Shao's heart race, and then he wanted to pin her down on the bed and kiss and bite her openly and honestly, and so on!
Thinking this to himself, the man did just that. He tightened his arms around her waist, and the man who had just been languid and sleepy was suddenly full of strength. He lifted her onto his shoulder and strode into the room.
Zhu Qianying had gradually become accustomed to the man's almost rough movements. When he carried her, she did not struggle. Instead, she happily lifted his shirt, put her hand inside his strong back, and stroked down his firm and pleasing muscles inch by inch.
"Honey, if you start a fire, you're responsible for putting it out!"
The man was already burning with desire, and he spoke in a hoarse voice as he threw the woman heavily onto the bed and then, without any hesitation, covered her completely.
Zhu Qianying was thrown around and saw stars. She cursed inwardly, "Damn it!" This brutal beast!
Then, she raised her hand, grabbed the back of the man's head, pulled him close to her face, opened her mouth, and bit his chin hard until she tasted blood in her mouth before she felt relieved.
"This fire can only be started by me, and only I can put it out, understand, my darling!"
Zhu Qianying's words clearly carried a hint of ruthlessness.
Yan Shao blinked, his eyes filled with amusement and a bloodthirsty excitement. He buried his head and pressed his lips to her delicate collarbone.
"Yes, my little darling!"
...
The next day, Zhu Qianying was bedridden again. When Yan Shao carried his precious son downstairs, Zizai looked at him with earnest and hopeful eyes.
"Daddy, am I going to be a big brother soon?!"
Yan Shao tapped his forehead with his own, and the two stared at each other. "What's wrong? In such a hurry?"
The little guy was honest and nodded emphatically.
"Yes, we're going to my aunt's house tonight, and I want to tell Brother Beibei and Sister Guoguo that I'm going to be a big brother too!"
It seems that in the little guy's heart, being a big brother is not only a happy thing, but also a very honorable thing.
"Well, but Daddy doesn't know when our little darling will come, just like before, Daddy didn't know when you wanted to come."
Zizai tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Oh, I know. Then I'll tell my older brother and sister when the little one is happy and comes over!"
Yan Shao's tone suddenly became so tactful regarding the other child because he had taken ample precautions these past few days.
That's right, he, his parents, and even his son were all eager to have more little ones in their family. But ever since he heard Qin Xiu say those things that day, he was determined to learn more, so he searched online. What he found made him break out in a cold sweat.
It turns out that even in this age of advanced medical technology, so many birth complications still occur.
Therefore, he couldn't help but have some concerns.
